Perfect Harmony

When I was in college some of my favorite things about being a fashion major was getting to play with different textures and mixing colors. In my aesthetics and textile classes I learned fashion rules that I still refer to everyday! Some of you may have read about my visual merchandising background in my About Me... this is where my love for bright colors and styling began. In school, I always had a color wheel tucked into my notebook to help on various projects. Nowadays, I've got the wheel completely memorized, which is extremely helpful, especially when I'm at the mall trying to quickly pull together an outfit for an upcoming event.

Above I paired some of my favorite harmonizing colors for an aesthetically pleasing ensemble. You could also achieve this look by combining your favorite yellow, orange and red pieces. Since this summer is all about color, color and more color teaching yourself how to mix and match your favorite hues is a sure fire way to help you strut through the season with fabulously bright ensembles. What are some of your favorite color combinations?

Fash Tip: Try placing a color wheel in your closet so you can refer to it when putting together your outfits. This will help inspire creative color combination that you may not have previously thought of!

I put a color wheel in my closet a few months ago & I loved that idea... Unfortunately, I'm not a morning person, so I pretty much get dressed w/my eyes closed.. I pretty much don't even wake up until 10:30am, lol (Everyone in my office knows this!) It does help if I'm just playing in my closet for a weekend activity, however! Great minds think alike!!

Oh I love the idea of placing a color wheel somewhere accessible! This look is perfection - the colors play off of each other so nicely! And what a wonderful shot of you and your hubby - looking forward to more! :)
